今年4月，阿拉山口铁路口岸进口集装箱6.8万吨，同比增长39.5%。分析原因，除中国铁路总公司鼓励集装箱大发展外，另一个原因就是随着中欧班列加大开行密度，返程货源也逐渐进入常态化运营，从而带动该口岸集装箱进口量。
西班牙马德里当地时间5月18日，满载60个标准集装箱西班牙红酒的货运专列缓缓开出，预计将于20天后到达义乌火车西站，车上西班牙特产将销往浙江和国内各地。
此前，2014年8月，“渝新欧”首趟原装汽车整车进口班列顺利抵达重庆铁路口岸，开创了中国内陆铁路口岸进口整车的先河。
据悉，2014年，中国铁路总公司加快构建中欧铁路大通道，全年共开行中欧班列308列，发送集装箱26070标准箱，较上年同期多开228列，增长285%，促进了中欧沿线各国间经贸交流发展。铁路总公司称，2015年，以进口汽车、机械设备、化工品、农副产品等为重点，开发回程货源，降低全程物流成本。（中国进出口网）
